Thanks checked out the website they have exactly what I want...a little more expensive than US however shipping is $6.95 per item, UPS, compared to $30.00++ from the states, so still cheaper and I get to Shop Canadian...

I'm in your region too (Paris/Brantford), drive a Wrangler X. Some days the waving is good, other days no one waves. I wave all the time! Keep it going, they'll get the hint.

Re: If I can be so BOLD
I find the Jeep wave is very "hit or miss" I will wave to all Wranglers of all years and I don't always receive one back.
My wife waves when she's in the Jeep with me too (we give out the double wave!
) or when she's driving the Jeep she waves too. We are trying to keep it alive.

I try my best to always send a wave to the jeep friends, some wave back and some don't, but I also smile at people when i walk past them, snd some smile back and some don't. Everyone needs to be happier, especially with the jeeps

I got my first CJ in the late 80's now I drive a 2012 Wrangler. Keep waven, there are alot of people out there new to the Jeep thing who don't know what it's all about. It's a Jeep thing and it's up to us to teach them.

Re: If I can be so BOLD
Having own a YJ, TJ and now a JK (2011 Sahara), I've always "done the wave", but the popularity of the 4dr JK seems to have brought Jeep an entirely new demographic of buyers. People who have never had a sense of being "individuals". When I pass a CJ, YJ, or TJ anymore, they seem to be caught off guard that somebody in a JK would wave at them. Corvette owners, and Harley Davidson riders have waved at each other, like Jeepers, for years, because ownership of these vehicles has (maybe "use to" is more appropriate) required a personal sacrifice to obtain and maintain them.
So those of us who remember what the wave represents will just have to keep the tradition alive, even if most of people we wave at have no clue what we're doin'.
